See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €40,000 (€200/m²), this 200 m² house requires complete renovation; estimated total costs bring the effective price to about €1,300/m², far above the local €430/m² benchmark. The two-unit layout, private garden and 17 photos are positives, but the 14 km distance from the sea adds little location premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, characterful rural house with an old stone-and-plaster facade, arched entrance, traditional doors, courtyard and private garden. However, the interiors are a mix of basic furnished rooms and seriously neglected or unfinished spaces, so it is more of a substantial renovation project than a ready dream home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€79,000 – €117,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- The property is advertised as completely needing renovation, with extensive damp, peeling finishes, worn terraces and deteriorated exterior surfaces.
- Several rooms are unfinished or storage-like, and a functional kitchen is not clearly shown.
- The two attached units and private garden offer potential, but significant work is likely needed before comfortable full-time living.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 63/100The cluster lies in the lower Garigliano plain between the Volturno-Garigliano coastal lowlands and the first inland hills. Monte Massico rises nearby and is the named relief of this part of northern Campania. The Garigliano river is to the north and the Tyrrhenian coast around Baia Domizia is within the local area. Roccamonfina-Foce Garigliano Regional Park reaches this zone and the volcanic massif of Roccamonfina is the main natural feature of the wider immediate hinterland. Sessa Aurunca is the nearest substantial historic town, with a large old centre and Roman remains. The area is known for Falerno del Massico vineyards and for the volcanic and alluvial farmland of the Agro Falerno.
